Boundary Element Methods: Fundamentals and Applications - Proceedings of the IABEM Symposium, Kyoto, Japan, October 14-17, 1991

The boundary element method has become one of the most efficient tools for solving various kinds of problems in engineering science. The aim of this symposium is to provide a forum for researchers in boundary element methods and boundary-integral formulations in general to present contemporary concepts and techniques leading to the advancement of capabilities and understanding of this computational methodology. The topics covered include mathematical aspects and applications to solid and fluid mechanics, acoustics, heat transfer, electromagnetism, fluid/structure interaction, optimization, inverse problems and other interdisciplinary problems.
